AVONDALE, Ariz. — William Byron took advantage of a late restart to win, just like one week earlier.
Kyle Larson was the victim of Byron’s late restart prowess, just like one week earlier.
It was a strange bit of NASCAR déjà vu at Phoenix Raceway, where Byron earned his second straight Cup Series victory by beating out his Hendrick Motorsports teammate — among others — in overtime on Sunday.
“I don’t love winning races that way, it’s very stressful,” Byron said, grinning. “A lot of tactics going on with the restarts.”
Late restarts may add to Byron’s stress, but they’re also adding to his win total.
